Severity level of the test

Select the Severity level of the test. The severity level controls how failed tests affect results.*

The following options are available from the drop-down list:

  • Reject: If the test fails, no interpolated concentrations and additional calculation results are reported. For reporting the Overall test result, the test is considered 'Rejected'.
  • Warning: If the test fails, interpolated concentrations and additional calculation results are reported. For reporting the Overall test result, the test is considered 'Failed'.
  • Information: If the test fails, interpolated concentrations and additional calculation results are reported. For reporting the Overall test result, the test is considered 'Passed' (info available).
Note: Each dose-response analysis also provides a summary of test results, which is called 'Overall test result'.

The following table explains how the Severity levels of failed tests influence the Overall test result:

Overall test result Failed tests of severity level 'Rejected' Failed tests of severity level 'Warning' Failed tests of severity level 'Information'
Passed 0 0 0
Passed (info available) 0 0 ≥1
Failed 0 ≥1 any number
Rejected ≥1 any number any number
Note: If tests cannot be calculated and return 'not calculated' (NC) results (for example, if Fieller's formula is needed to calculate test results and computed values are outside the valid range), the Overall test result treats them like failed tests.

* When Assay suitability tests fail, they affect every sample in the assay. Sample suitability tests only affect the Overall test result of the individual sample.

This test uses the effective concentration, which results from the regression fit, to determine a response value for the Percentile you specify.

Transformed values are used if a Response transformation has been set. In this case, the regression fit is based on the transformed response. The calculation first determines the transformed response for the effective concentration and then reverses the transformation to receive an untransformed response value.

Add one or several tests for the width of the interpolation interval to your assay.

Note: This test is for assay elements that have a single-dose preparation scheme.
Tip: Select the Assay suitability or Sample suitability section prior to adding tests from the Creatable elements pane.

The width of interpolation interval is determined as follows: The system interpolates a value for each individual replicate. The 'width of interpolation interval' is the difference of the maximal minus the minimal interpolation value for a single assay element (sample).

Note: To pass the test, the width of the interpolation interval has to be greater than or equal to the Lower margin set in the test definition and less than or equal to the Upper margin.

Select the value you want to test from the drop-down list(s).

The following options are available:

Verification assay

Marks dataset rows as verification assays. Rows marked as verification assays (value set to 'true') are used to test derived margins.

Important: To use a row as verification assay, also set the value of the Development assay column to 'false'.
Tip: Use the Scientifically acceptable column to indicate whether you expect the verification assay will be accepted or rejected.

Visualization

This section allows you to set the parameters you require for simulation. Expand the node to add or view information.

Simulations sample possible configurations of the parameters that come with the model of referenced assays. The tests selected in the Test strategies section are applied to each configuration:

  • Configurations that do not pass all tests are rejected.
  • Configurations that pass all tests are plotted in the report.

The graphs of the report provide an overview of the assays that pass all tests within selected margins.

Note: Default values are used for simulation parameters you do not specify or delete.
Tip: You can also visualize existing test systems if you have no related assays available. Enter the required values in the Test strategies and Visualization sections manually.

Working concentration

Enter a number to set the Working concentration for an individual step in the concentration sequence.

Note: The system assumes the unit of the Working concentration to be the same as the unit used for the concentration of the stock solution.
Important: If the value you enter here for the first sequence step differs from values implied by the predilution factors of this preparation scheme and the concentration settings of referencing assay elements, the analysis uses the value you enter here, and the system returns a warning message and provides the discrepancy as Implicit factor in reports.
Tip: Add additional Working concentration elements as you require.
Note: The Working concentrations you enter are internally associated with consecutively numbered steps starting with '1'.
